On June 8, 2025, Justin Bieber, the global pop star, once again drew attention with a series of cryptic Instagram posts. The 31-year-old, who recently welcomed his daughter, Joy, with wife Hailey Bieber, has been under scrutiny for his erratic online activity, prompting fans to urge him to prioritise his mental health.
Bieber’s latest posts included blurry black-and-white selfies taken in a bathroom, captioned: “Tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved, that’s not love.” The vague message sparked speculation about his personal life, though he did not specify a target. Fans expressed concern, with comments like, “Justin, please get help,” interpreting the posts as a possible cry for support.
Earlier, Bieber faced backlash over a controversial Instagram story congratulating Hailey for her Vogue cover, which was criticised for its tone. Despite his known aversion to paparazzi, Bieber’s frequent posts continue to fuel public discussion, contrasting with expectations that fatherhood might reduce his online presence.
Rising to fame at 13, Bieber navigated controversies in his late and early 20s, often linked to intense media attention. He has been open about past struggles with anxiety and substance use, seeking therapy to cope. While his 2020 documentary Seasons highlighted his recovery, recent posts suggest ongoing challenges, possibly amplified by fame’s pressures.
Fans have flooded social media with messages of support, urging Bieber to seek help. Mental health experts emphasise the toll of constant scrutiny, with advocates calling for compassion. Neither Bieber nor his team has commented further, but his history of addressing concerns publicly keeps fans hopeful for positive updates.
